About this map

Lake Gogebic dominates the eastern edge of this Michigan landscape, providing a terminal point for local waterways like Merriweather Creek and Hendricks Creek. The settlement of Merriweather is positioned near the lake's northern tip, accompanied by a localized Mobile Home Park. The topography is defined by the extensive Ottawa National Forest, which spans much of the quadrangle and includes portions of Bergland and Marenisco.

Evidence of resource management and infrastructure is seen in the presence of a Gravel Pit and a prominent Pipeline corridor. The region is heavily water-scarce in terms of development but rich in drainage networks, with Carp Lake and Paddock Pond serving as northern landmarks. The map also delineates civil boundaries where Ontonagon County meets Gogebic County, reflecting the administrative divisions in this heavily forested Upper Peninsula territory during the late 20th century.
